A Tallahassee man is accused of a fatal shooting and with pulling the trigger on two other people as he tried to get away.

Erick May, 34, faces one count of murder, two counts of attempted murder, one count of burglary of a vehicle and possession of a firearm by a convicted felon.

May is being accused of shooting Paul Hogg, an employee of Hickman Transport on Crossway Road before fleeing and burglarizing a vehicle a third of a mile away.

Leon County Sheriff’s deputies were responding to a weapons and firearms call at about 8 p.m. Tuesday when the burglary victim’s son reported seeing someone inside the car. May was identified as the suspect who ran from the incident.

People in the area were chasing May when he stopped, fired a shot and continued running.

Witnesses said they overheard May talking about demons when they confronted him. They also said they heard gunshots about 10 minutes earlier from the direction where Hogg’s body was found next to his truck.

Another man who was working on the pump system of a Crossway Road gas station saw May run past the driveway. May came face to face with him and pulled the trigger; however, the gun misfired.

As deputies responded to the weapons and burglary call, a coworker of Hogg found his body on the ground next to his vehicle. He had been shot in the head. Four spent shell casings were located at the scene.

May was detained at the intersection of Capital Circle and Shelfer Road. He told deputies he didn't have a gun, but there was one in a nearby culvert.

The 9mm handgun was found in a ditch with one live round in the six-round magazine.
